ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGE
Engine oil and oil filter should be changed after the first 100 hours of operation. After that, they should be
changed every 200 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first.

NEUTRAL position. Chock the front wheels.
2. Access the engine compartment. See WARNING "For vehicles with cargo beds..." on page 8.
3. Tilt the bed and ensure that the prop rod is properly engaged.
4. Disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first. See WARNING "To avoid unintentionally start-
ing..." on page 10.
5. Position a pan designed for oil changes under the front drain plug (Figure 18).

counterclockwise, and allow the engine oil to drain into the pan.
